Darlings, it was the Critics’ Choice Television Awards, where the stars come out on their best behavior because if there’s one thing a star cannot abide, it’s criticism.

So let’s get to criticizing, bitches!

Aisha Tyler

It looks like a decent enough dress on her from this angle. Love the Y-B-W color combo. The shoes are kinda heavy, though, and the slit’s just a skosh too high.

Alison Brie in Oscar de la Renta

This is actually quite pretty for Alison. It’s a bit heavy and serious-looking (and the pumps don’t help), but it’s a fairly grownup look for someone who hasn’t always hit the RC looking like a grownup.

Ariel Winter in Collette Dinnigan

Sweet, without being twee.

Beth Behrs in Paule Ka

We’re surprised we like this as much as we do, since she’s all one color, like a salt shaker or something. But she looks kinda chic to our eyes.

Julie Bowen is playing a joke on everyone. Only excuse for that pile of steaming shit.

http://twitter.com/stellaphone Stella Zawistowski

Perhaps it’s Marchesa playing the joke on us. Somewhere, Georgina Chapman is laughing her ass off. “Hahahahaha! My 22-month-old daughter made this after she opened all of my birthday presents!”

http://zapit.nu/2Am Flora Anderson

Why does Marchesa get to keep making clothes? And why do people keep wearing them?...MsnGetAmazingWork.notlong.com

http://asskickingadviser.com/ Ass Kicking Adviser

Or maybe Georgina has no taste which I have suspected for many years. I agree, it must be a joke.

AmandaCathleen

Truly. I think TLo’s comment about Gennifer Goodwin holds true here as well: how do you put that on and not realize it isn’t working??

lamamu

I’m convinced GG doesn’t own a mirror. Or have an oh-girl-no friend.

jmorino08

I think she’s looking to the wrong “friends” for sure! They are letting her leave the house in dresses like that and convincing her that she needs to cock her head back or purse her lips when she poses. She looks ridiculous!

When your husband keeps backing up the money truck to everyone’s door, it’s not that hard….

AmandaCathleen

Regina King would be my favorite, hands down, if it wasn’t for those sad shoes. Gotta give the win to Kate Walsh instead. Love the easy shape and summery color of her dress.

jmorino08

Lover her from the neck down but she is way over bronzed and the calico hair color is less that flattering.

http://www.facebook.com/shreya.aren Shreya Aren

Kate Walsh doesn’t look like Kate Walsh. *shakes head*

MilaXX

YES and I’m mad Lucy Lu got an award for her guest starring role and Regina won nothing. Southland is as good as it is in large part due to Regina.

introspective

you cant be serious???? lucy was good this season but regina king blows *everyone* on that show out of the water with her performance. and its a good show with an excellent cast, but regina is head and shoulders above them all… im so bitter right now.

So true! I knew she could dress properly if she tried. Now if she would just crack a smile~~~

http://vhanna26.typepad.com Vera

She really does look great.

HobbitGirl

Katey Segal’s dress would look SO SO SO much better without those fugly sleeves! And Julie Bowen…what the hell. Marchesa needs to just stop.

Julianne Moore, however, looks slammin’.

marilyn

Ariel, Hannah, Hayden and Kate have legs seriously darker than the rest of their exposed bodies. Busy has exposed roots. Gennifer is starting to look like a pixie prison matron. She needs to look in the mirror when she picks out clothes. She is petite with a pixie haircut. Her skin color is delicate. She should not be wearing clothes in dark colors that are bold in design. She should also smile. It would go with the haircut and her pixie-ish face.

VioletFem

RuPaul was at this event too and he looked amazing (as usual). I was hoping TLo had included him in Critic’s Choice Post. Also, Sara Hyland’s new haircut looks really cute.

colleenjanel

Hayden’s dress would have been VASTLY improved without the cutouts.

Ariel and Kate win it for me, this round.

charlotte

That’s quite a decent red carpet ensemble of people. At least overall. Never mind Julie Bowen. She needs advice from her “daughter” Ariel…

katey looks a bit like she’s on a renaissance fair episode of rupaul’s drag race. and i mean that in the best way possible.

call_me_schmeg

chante, you stay!

xay

I want a Renaissance Fair themed episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race now. This has to happen.

introspective

oooh me too!! what a clusterfuck of camp that would be. sign me up with a bowl of popcorn.

Hey! I’m 36, and I get that Ice Castles reference.

Or am I just close enough to 40 at this point? *sigh*

norseofcourse

You’re just wise beyond your years.

http://www.filmsbyneptune.com/ Dani Colman

Gotta love a gal for trying Viktor & Rolf, but poor Ginnifer just isn’t built for it. Tell you what, though: I want to see Jessica Chastain try it (not Ginnifer’s dress, but Viktor & Rolf in general). I bet their crazy architectural madness would look amazing against Jessica’s strong features.

christinewithanx

Hey, I’m only 35!

mjude

LOVE Julianne

TheOriginalLulu

Aisha Tyler – She looks good, but wow is that a bad shoe choice for that dress! I personally HATE the white/black/yellow color combo. No matter the print, that combo just always looks ugly to me, like the kitchen window treatments that have been in your great-grandmother’s apartment since your grandmother was a child.

Ariel Winter – Adorable! I just wish she had chosen some bigger jewelry to give it a little oomph.

Ginnifer Goodwin- Damn girl, you have horrible taste in clothes.

Hayden P – Gorgeous color on her, but yeah WAY too casual. Those shoes are hideous.

Julie Bowen – I’m sorry, this just looks like a joke. Although, it could be a good dress to have when it’s “that time of the month and you’re all bloated and don’t want anyone to see how big your middle looks.

Katey Sagal – Haven’t seen her in forever! She looks great!

Regina King – She looks so pretty in that dress. Shame about those bridesmaid shoes.

newleaf1

Did Regina King always have such a smokin’ hot bod? Other than those shoes she is the winner!

DinaSews

Julie – please, please, please give Mrs. Victoria Beckham a call. Get a dress that works with your athletic figure. Then stop in ANY beauty salon and get your hair done!

Chickadeep

RE: the footwear, perhaps clunky, out-of-season black pumps are the new Nude Platform?

Emily and Ginnifer look like they went to Boca Raton and raided Aunt Sylvia’s closet for the latest in unflattering AARP-style formalwear.

Julie Bowen’s ensemble is utterly crack-tastic. I can’t even.

RedRaven617

I would’ve never recognized Kate Walsh; I even checked Google to make sure I was thinking of the same person. And is Julie Bowen pregnant? If so, I’ll cut her a break, if not, oh Julie, Julie, Julie.

http://profiles.google.com/gillianholroyd gillian holroyd

Yes, what is up with her face?

schadenfreudelicious

my thoughts exactly, i had to keep scrolling back to take a look at her, I would have never recognized that face as belonging to Kate Walsh…

Spicytomato1

There seem to be an equal number of hits and misses.

Allison Brie looks amazing…and I am always startled to see her out of period costume because she wears her MM persona so comfortably.Gennifer Goodwin…I just can’t anymore. I think I’ve said that before, but it’s still true.

TieDye64

Regina King looks absolutely gorgeous. Too bad about the shoes.

http://profiles.google.com/gillianholroyd gillian holroyd

That’s a fantastic Jason Wu dress but too stark for Julianne Moore. Black/white is harsh and it is making her skin look gray.

http://twitter.com/mizenkay Nancy K.

Poor Ginny Goodwin. Atrocious outfit(s) aside…lately she always looks so sullen and miserable on the RC. Honey, if it makes you that
sad, stay home.

jmorino08

Was it really hot or were they all over lit? Half of them look like their faces are melting off. I think Sarah Hyland kind of pulls off that dress in a way that only someone her age could. Hate those peep toe platforms though. I love Regina King’s dress. I would like one in my closet, please! And I’ll give Ginnifer Goodwin creditnformnot doing anything stupid with her posing but that dress is so wrong in so many ways! It’s June, first of all, so why would you even consider something like that?! And even if you did consider it, wouldn’t you take one look a yourself in the mirror and give it the big heave ho?’

SapphoPoet

Aisha Tyler’s dress is my favorite–so soft and pretty. But there were a lot of interesting dresses in this group–I thought most everyone looked really good (except for that Marchesa fiasco).

Violina23

Aisha looks like she’s holding her own dress up the way that photo is posed

I like Katey Sagal’s dress, but she looks kinda sickly. Again, I blame the photograph.

P.S. I’m 30 and I got the Ice Castles joke

http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

Best Julianne Moore’s looked in AGES! And Regina King looks gorgeous from the ankles up. I have no words for what Julie Bowen is wearing.

Deb_Lynn

Emily Deschanel: Zooey’s great-aunt

hillmad

I’m really surprised that no one has mentioned Emily Deschanel; I gasped when I saw her! The very definition of matronly: dark heavy ugly pattern, too long, batwing sleeves, and black ankle strap shoes just to make sure the legs get properly stumpified! Whoa!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1540233153 Malve Lyborg

Funny you said Busy Philipps looks “A bit too boobular, maybe” ’cause in my language Busy would be the diminutive of “Busen”, which is boobs.

3boysful

Beth Behrs looks like a modern incarnation of Grace Kelly. Very nice.

Most of the rest of them look like they were drinking by the pool, and someone realized they all had 30 min to change for this event.

Vlasta Bubinka

If Sarah Hyland’s dress can bring us vintage Robbie Benson, then let’s play that Melissa Manchester 45 for hours on end.

http://twitter.com/meredeth_gwyn Meri

Beth Behr would have looked 100% with a bit of color color. That dress is lovely, very chic– though it seems a little bit heavy for a summer awards show. Maybe it is simply how it photographs?

The fact that Sarah Hyland is 21 and therefore, older than Kate Upton is so weird to me. She looks perpetually sixteen.

Golfkat

I’m not really sure why Emmy Rossum was excluded from this post and put on the whiteboard pages instead? It wouldn’t have taken much effort to put another photo in with two lines of text. I would have liked to see the T&Lo’s take on her getup. But this way we got more than one photo in a mass post, which I should probably be happy about.

http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/ Tom and Lorenzo

Would you like fries with that?

Golfkat

“No thank you. I’m trying to diet”.
I had to Google your phrase to find out what it meant apart from the obvious. Seems you were being sarcastic because I was being too demanding, non? Well well. It’s all just bits and bytes, isn’t it? There was also a compliment hidden in there, if you look closely. And I know you always do!

http://twitter.com/miss_schuman Lauren Schuman

when scrolling down i was shocked to see chris colfer in a dress, then i realized it was ginnifer goodwin.

jennysullivanparker

Oh, Robbie Benson.

Call me Bee

Beth Behrs FTW! And Emily D and Ginnefer G will have to fight for the ugliest outfit award–both are hideous. Particularly disappointed in Ms Deschanel, since she is a stunningly beautiful girl. Here she looks likemiddel-aged my mom ca. 1974.

Lilak

Aw, too bad about the scroll-down on Regina King … So close!

kimmeister

I hate the cut of the straps on Hannah’s dress. It’s giving her linebacker shoulders.

MilaXX

I can’t add to much to TLo’s commentary, but Ariel Winters did a remake of Gotye’s Used to Know and girl can SANG. Google
Jackson Guthy & Ariel Winters sings Gotye.

allisankelly

Honestly, this is the best I’ve seen Busy Phillips look all year, extra boob or no. Regina King really ruined her look with those hideous shoes that look both too big and too small at the same time. Kate Walsh looks fresh and pretty. Julie Bowen? OMFG?? Julianne Moore looks good, but maybe a little more color on her face/eyes…but she’s so pretty to me and is also someone I aspire to look like. Lots of bad footwear choices here, ladies.

TheDivineMissAnn

Those “straps” across Hannah Simone’s chest make her look like a Sandinista guerrilla carrying around his bullets.

The rest of the dress just hurts my eyes.

Kyle Crawford

WOW to Regina Kings shoulders and arms! SOMEBODY wants a job in the coming Obama bio-pic!

Lina_bee

Ooh! Busy is finally figuring out how to dress for her shape! It is a bit boobular and the fit is weird in the hips, but the necklace, loose hair, and deep v-neck are (at last) balancing out her difficult short neck + long chin combo. That’s a huge triumph for her. Julianne Moore also looks great — hooray for breaking up with Lanvin. Wu is much better suited to her. And I have never seen Katey Sagal look so completely BAMF as she does here. Fantastic surprise!

Cecilia Evans

Hey, I’m only 33 and I remember Ice Castles! Although, I did have a figure skating obsession as a small child…

joe_tey83

To get Julie Bowen’s look, apply glue on yourself and roll around on fabric scraps.

mom2ab

Were they giving out those heavy ugly black pumps in the gift bags? And holy crap what did Kate Walsh do to her face?

nannypoo

I do not like Ginnifer Goodwin’s little pixie haircut on her perfectly round head. And her dress, holy crap. And why does Emily Deschanel insist on dressing like a frump when she is so beautiful? And what was Julie Bowen thinking? Otherwise nothing here makes my eyes twitch, but there’s nothing great either.

jennifervney

“Totally shapeless. We don’t know how you can put something like this on and not realize that it isn’t working.”
Perhaps in the same way she keeps making that red carpet face without realizing it isn’t working.

http://twitter.com/lenabena_ Elena

The black pumps are killing me! And making my feet sweat.

unbornfawn

Regina King for the win. God what a mess of women.

Leslie Streeter

I want to BE HER. Forever. Even on “227.”

librarygrrl64

“Looking Through the Eyes of Love*” BWAHAHAHA!!! Oh, thank you, thank you SO much, guys! (wiping away tears of laughter)

MsKitty

Y’all just killed me dead with the Ice Castles reference.

Pennymac

Katey Sagal for the win. I think she looks fierce as shit. And Julie Bowen in that craptastic Marchesa made me LOL. Wasn’t it just a red carpet a week or so ago when the Marchesa was the win and I posted that I thought hell had frozen over? It was an anomaly I guess. Back to the Marchesa Global Warming of Yuck.

Dear Miss Sagal- on any other person that dress would *not* work- you however are working the hell out of it, bow down bitches…

Beth G

Ginnifer. It’s JUNE. June my dear. In LA.

http://twitter.com/kerrymccombs Kerry McCombs

Now I want to go watch Ice Castles with Robby Benson and his big blue eyes!

*And I’m only 35!

ASK26

Can’t find a sleeve throughout the entire winter… much less a long sleeve.
but come summer (or late spring)????

clairellis

Kate Walsh looks the best.

Carlodog

I have no idea who Hannah Simone is, but that dress would be killer if the criss cross straps were gone. Look at how they just suddenly end on the skirt. As if a Project Runway contestant ran out of time and couldn’t finish the outfit.

JMansm

Is it weird that Ariel Winter and Sarah Hyland coordinated ad both wore white dresses by the same designer?

holdmewhileimnaked

ginnifer goodwin is skinny enough to wear harem-panted jumpsuits & look better than passable in them–i mean, as passable as anyone can look in a harem-panted jumpsuit. so why the h-e-ear o’corn-ear o’corn did she put this thing on sans any tailor or seamstress intervention whatsoever & decide it was a good move to keep wearing it? what drives me the most crazy is there are a whole bunch of interesting facets to the thing–way too many, of course–that w/ a little bit of editing & a little bit of styling [& a whole lotta removal of that singularly misplaced net patch], this mightve looked okay. maybe. certainly no worse than a harem-panted jumpsuit. but noooooo. she had to go & wear it like this.

she’s gotta be doing it on purpose. she’s hearing voices telling her to wear these things before, i guess, she has to go assassinate one or another world leader, or eat a diet entirely made up of frogs or something. i’m sorry. there is just no other possible explanation.

Ksagun13

Regina King looks great! Even with the satin shoes. Ginnifer Goodwin and Emily Deschanel are just tragic, however.

http://twitter.com/nkk Nikki

I thought Kate Walsh was Kelly Preston for a a good few seconds… took me a bit…

YolandaHawkins

When I saw Sarah Hyland I immediately thought, “Ice Capades.”

guest2visits

Hannah Simone for the win, followed by Kate Walsh, Beth Behrs, and a tie for Ariel Winter and Alison Brie.
Is Ginnifer Goodwin punishing herself, ? Is this like a hair dress or something ? The only nice part of this outfit is the small
vee panel of net; the rest is angry granny.

golspie

Aisha Tyler makes anything look good.

golspie

Very odd. I don’t know if it’s the lighting or the backdrop or they all went to the stylist but everyone here looks much better than the usual uneven selection of mannequins and scarecrows we get in most red carpet shoots.

pepper76

I really adored Ginnifer on Big Love, but now she’s trying so hard to be a Swinton. Girl, that is not your look. The Margene flirty, girly stuff actually really suited her.

http://vhanna26.typepad.com Vera

Am I the only one who thinks Marchesa dresses have gotten uglier lately? It’s as if Chapman just ran out of ideas and just decided to randomly attach mounds of tulle onto illusion netting.

quiltrx

YOU GO JULIANNE!!!!

And this black/white combo fan is totally digging Hannah (who is she?) and Katey’s looks.

(and I snorted at Through the Eyes of Love!)

http://twitter.com/yankeefoxtrot Alex McGeagh

Aisha Tyler can do no wrong…love her and love this dress!

(ps: she has a great, hilarious podcast that I find highly enjoyable!)

Candigirl1968

I would like to borrow Regina King’s trainer. Immediately.

She looks fabulous in that red dress (don’t look at the feet, just … don’t … look).

http://twitter.com/pag_baj Paige Boerman

Sweet Jesus on a breadstick, Julie Bowen! You look like you’re carrying twins in there! What the hell?! I’m officially traumatized. I didn’t even finish reading the post, I shrieked and had to opine. This is obviously a cry for help.

holdmewhileimnaked

tired as i am [& as stuck on my cow movie as i have been] i forgot to note that poor, silly emily deschanel–i remembered that zooey’s mother is an actress &, so help me, thats who i thought emily was. in this picture only! just in this picture! to her personal credit, it was just the clothes! of which she should be rid! right about now! or sooner!

RzYoung

Ok i need to apologise in advance for an F-bomb but that Marchesa dress is the fucking ugliest thing I’ve EVER seen.

Beth Behrs in Paule Ka – i love this look! The textures are great and shape is sort of neo Audrey/Givenchy or something and it doesn’t look bridal. Love

bellafigura1

More kooky nail colors with couture. Blech.

Cheri Lee

I just can’t with Ginnifer Goodwin anymore. I can stand looking at her.
Regina is fuckin’ fierce as shit! I will forgive her for the shoes.

http://twitter.com/SparklyCasanova UglyCasanova

Hayden Panettiere’s toe nails … ugh

http://twitter.com/cornekopia Shawn EH

C’mon, that is the classiest Busy in ever!Hayden needed a long skirt to really get that Stepford Wife/GCB vibe off the floor.

Rachel Goldberg

You realize that the only people old enough for the “through the eyes of love” reference are you two and me, right?

shawnhunter

julianne moore <3 YES

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=583505025 Kelley Comfort

Viktor & Rolf are such an acquired taste. One I’ve not acquired yet, I must say. Hasn’t anyone told Ginnifer you no longer match your mani and pedi? The Marchesa dress was even more over-complicated than usual. Horrid.
